Grimlock
(Part 1)
From: Transformers
Voice: Gregg Berger
Bio: Grimlock was a gladiator from Kaon but chose to join the Autobots early on in the war. His dislike of Optimus Prime and shock-and-awe approach to combat meant he was not regarded as a great leader, but he has survived long enough to earn a high rank and command of the Lightning Strike Coalition. As leader of the Lightning Strike Coalition Force, he has gathered together a group of similar minded individuals he would do anything for. Together they handle the jobs the Autobots don't have the stomach for.
The Lightning Strike Coalition were a brutal subgroup of Autobots under the leadership of Grimlock who reluctantly followed Optimus Prime's more cautious brand of warfare... when ordered. Optimus preferred playing the long game, but Grimlock felt that caution would hinder their attempts at quick victory.
Shortly before the Great Exodus, Grimlock and his Lightning Strike Coalition were ordered to help guard the Ark prior to its launch. However, they picked up unusual energy emissions from the Sea of Rust and Grimlock had them steal a dropship to go investigate. It turned out Shockwave and his Insecticons had discovered an ancient Cybertronian Space Bridge. They battled the Insecticons but four of the team were captured. Shockwave decided to use them as guinea pigs in an experiment, using the DNA of creatures discovered on an energy-rich planet to reformat the LSC into massively powerful dinosaur forms. While all members of the team were experimented on, Grimlock's change was the most extreme. Shockwave rerouted a large amount of the energy for his cerebral circuitry in order to boost his already impressive physical strength. Once the change was complete, Grimlock was more powerful and durable than almost any other Cybertronian, but the changes left him mentally impaired, limiting his ability to think. In order to control him, Shockwave placed an inhibitor in Grimlock which prevented him from transforming.
Following a pain-based test, the restrained Grimlock was approached by a recently ousted Starscream, who offered to free Grimlock in exchange for his help battling Megatron. Grimlock proposed a counter-offer: grabbing the less than cautious Starscream and using him as a projectile to smash the control console. Now free, Grimlock made his way through the duplicate space-bridge tower Shockwave and his Insecticons had constructed, leaving a path of destruction and dead bodies in his wake. He eventually managed to track down and free Swoop. Grimlock was perturbed to see Swoop's personality remained the same, as did his ability to transform. It didn't help that Swoop greatly enjoyed his new form and that unlike Grimlock, Swoop couldn't remember the torture they had endured. The pair attempted to track down Slug but, just before reaching his containment lab, was intercepted by Hardshell who tried to slow them down using a mounted turret. Working together, Swoop and Grimlock defeated the Insecticon and used his face to open a door.
Arriving at Slug's lab, they found a massive tunnel leading to the depths of the tower, where the Insections were feeding on unlucky Decepticons. Separated from Swoop, Grimlock was taunted by Shockwave and Kickback for his inability to transform. Enraged, he chased Kickback down before being attacked by a giant Insecticon. Grimlock defeated it, but Kickback's taunts about his defeat in the Sea of Rust angered him to such a degree, he over-rode Shockwave's block and transformed to his T. rex form. Making short work of Kickback's forces, he drove the Insecticon to retreat...straight into a collapsing door, brought down by Slug. Reunited, Grimlock and Slug made their way to the exterior base of the tower where they met with Swoop. The trio then travelled through the Insecticon infested area, eventually stumbling upon Snarl, trapped in a forcefield and being tortured by Sharpshot. While Slug and Swoop tried to free Snarl, Grimlock battled the Insecticons and brought down the forcefield generator. He then slaughtered a terrified Sharpshot. At Slug's suggestion, they made their way to a place where Snarl could be repaired.
The LSC made their way to an observation deck which not only oversaw Shockwave's space bridge, but contained files on the forms Shockwave had forced upon them, including the one he had planned for the missing Sludge. It was then the team threw aside their previous name and took the title Sharpshot and Kickback and given them, the Dinobots. In the lab, Slug revealed the tower's purpose in transporting the Decepticons to an energy-rich planet and, against Grimlock's wishes, contacted Prime. Grimlock updated Optimus but refused to rally together, deciding that the Dinobots would handle things their way. Unfortunately, Shockwave activated the space bridge and Grimlock was thrown into the air. Saved by Swoop, he was transported close to the control center of the tower before the winds became too much, separating them. Crashing into the tower, Grimlock tried to sneak up on Shockwave, but found himself once more restrained. As Shockwave finalized procedures with Megatron, a furious Grimlock transformed himself free, tore off and ate Shockwave's arm, and smashed the control console. Unfortunately, this massively destabilized the tower and it collapsed before he could escape. However, as the Dinobots watched the tower collapse, something was transported from the space bridge to the now unstable wormhole formed above Cybertron...
Many eons later, Grimlock was awoken to a whole new totally world; an entirely different planet from Cybertron. While this was none other than planet Earth that provided Grimlock the very dinosaurian alt mode, it was no longer the Mesozoic era that Shockwave first set his cold mono-eye upon for his twisted experiment upon Grimlock and his team. It was now the era of superhumans, new gods, and advanced human technology with megacities. While most Transformers would have adopted a vehicular alt mode to blend into the native populace and environment, Grimlock's stubborn, fiery temperament and his inability to scan and replace his T-rex alt mode made that impossible for him. Besides, he would rather confront the threat rather than hide from it like a certain Prime he had the displeasure of serving under.
With his newfound aggression that comes from his T-Rex mode, the Dinobot will be relentless in his search for others of his kind as the DC Universe falls apart around him. And may Primus have mercy on those unfortunate to cross paths with the raging gladiator and the beast that is now Grimlock.
Intro Motions
First: Grimlock comes stomping onto the scene in his dinosaur mode and he chomps on the gasoline truck. He shakes it around like a ragdoll before he flings it down onto ground in front of him. Grimlock spits out flames from the flamethrower housed within his jaws and the truck exploded the moment the fire ignites the gasoline. The Transformer T-Rex roars out, which prompts his opponent to comment. Grimlock transforms into his default form, taunting back at him/her.
Second: Grimlock walks in with a struggling Decepticon bruiser drone caught tightly in his hand. He taunts his opponent, but he/she insults back at the Dinobot leader, which obviously aggravates the former Autobot gladiator. Grimlock rips the Decepticon bruiser apart in response as he hollers back at his opponent with his visor glowing angrily while he unleashes his Energon shield and sword.

Super Move
Grimlock Smash! - Grimlock does a lunging slash with his Energon Sword. If he hits, Grimlock hits the opponent with a combo of slashes before ramming them with his shield, stunning them. Grimlock then transforms into his T-Rex Mode and roars at the opponent before smacking them across the screen with his tail. Grimlock then charges after the opponent and does a swinging headbutt at them, knocking them about.

He then fires his flamethrower at point blank range while they're within his mouth and they burn agonizingly before he flings them off brusquely. Grimlock finishes by pouncing onto them, crushing them with his metallic feet.
